That eliminates the head-scratching.
Absolutely nothing to replace my car.

I knew 993s were getting pricey but that's just rediculous!

I've been really thinking about a 996 Cup as a replacement.

If I was being realistic I'd trade my 993 in for a white/black interior 997S.

Either that or a Carrera GT.

For less or equal price:
1. A 6-cyl long hood - whatever I could find and afford, an S Targa if possible
2. RSA
3. A Boxster S

Price Independent
1. Carrera GT
2. 997.2 GT3
4. 997 Turbo S
5. 997 4S Cab

Should I go on....

Well after 4 great years ,I think this is the year to change for me and it's a simple choice



It is the only car I can see replacing the best car I have ever owned but then I thought that about the 964 !!

In my case, probably:
- a very nice 3.2 (maybe Targa for a change of pace)
- 996 Turbo. OK, I may have to pony up $5-7K out of pocket.
That did it for me...Nothing out there in P-Car land for equal $ that interests me. "993...There is no substitute!".

Coming from a guy who did just that (Sold the 993 coupe and bought the 996 GT3) you could not have picked a better replacement. I also had the 964 C2T (sold it to get the 993) and am here to tell you the 996 GT3 is iconic.

No sunroof, no traction control, no PSM, NO waiting. It is mind numbing how good it is. I hope many of you get the chance to own one in your futures.
